Yesterday I meet some Dojo developers in Berlin for the dojo.beer() which was announced on the Dojo website last week. It was a sunny day and we hit one of Berlins many beaches next to the Spree.
Dojo is a Javascript API that I have a love-hate relationship with and have been following for 3-4 years now. It was nice to finally meet other Dojo developers and have someone to discuss the joys and woes of the prolific Javascript API, the best out there in my opinion.
It was perhaps too hot and the beer() was too easy to drink as we didn’t manage to get much decided but the idea for a community maintained Wiki documenting Dojo was thought to be a good idea. These guys setup the Dojo Campus site and so this Wiki will probably end up there.
I hope this see the drive for more European activity form the Dojo community in the future!

I just got back from MAGISTRALE Kulturnacht’s Medialounge in which a good friend of mine has some photos on exhibit. There was a series of laptop audio performances by various artists which climaxed with a live performance of the so called Laptoporchester Berlin. Seven guys on laptops nodding their heads.They opened with a couple of pieces that were lead by a guy on a cool seven string electric guitar which had a body that was just snap on bars in the shape of a traditional guitar (see picture). They then ended with a cover of Terry Riley’s ‘In C’ which I’d only recently discovered being a big fan of Steve Riech.

This pics of the salad are from one that I made last night. It’s dead easy and rocks.

Went to this gig at Station Park last night. Was a bit of a fizzer, as far as Berlin gigs go. It was 9 Euro which is a bit pricey for most students here and there are plenty of other things happening on a Friday night in Berliner town. Otherwise there was a lot of potential as the live acts they lined up were quite good.
